The effect of blend composition on the annealing rate of PET crystals was also evaluated from the change of the onset of melting with annealing time.
Six dependent measures were calculated for each force pulse: 1) RT, 2) duration of force, 3) mean force, 4) positive rate of change of force onset, 5) negative rate of change of force offset, and 6) integral of force.
The main indicators of change (of rainfall pattern) were increase in frequency of extreme events (specifically prolonged drought) (43%), change in rainfall amount (43%), change in dates of onset (5%), and reduced growing season (5%) (Fig. 2).
In our study, nearly 80% of participants did not experience any menstrual change during the first cycle after treatment, while 20.1% experienced a change in timing of onset of the next menses of >7 days.
A biomarker should be sensitive to low dose rate and, ideally, indicate low, medium, or high dose rate exposure with, e.g., changes in time-of-onset and intensity of response.
That is, there was no change in risk of onset of menarche with a 10-fold increase in TCDD levels (e.g., 10 100 ppt).
Another study examined recent changes of the onset date of green-up for portions of central Asia and determined that the steppe regions were highly influenced by spring precipitation [57].
The study is nevertheless relatively small and the phenotypic changes of pubertal onset were, for ethical reasons, self-reported rather than clinician assessed.
Myocardial infarction was diagnosed when two or more of the following criteria were fulfilled: i) central chest pain >30 minutes, ii) transient rise of transaminase activities, and iii) typical electrocardiogram changes of recent onset [ 22].
Possible shortcomings of our study include remoteness of the outcome assessment from the baseline measurement causing inadequate information on medications, lifestyle changes, and time of onset of dysglycemia.
